Amino acids come from: correct answers Diet
Breakdown of proteins
A limited supply I stored in amino acids pools
after amine groups are removed (converted to urea, excreted in urine), amino acids can also
be: correct answers Burned for energy
Made into glucose
Can be stored as fat, but unlikely
Collagen correct answers a ropelike, fibrous protein that is the most abundant protein in
your body
Connective tissue correct answers the most abundant tissue type in the body; made up
primarily
of collagen, it supports and connects body parts as well as
providing protection and insulation
Most Enzymes and many hormone are composed correct answers of proteins, help maintain
Fuild balance
Proteins help maintain correct answers Acid base balance (buffers)
Proteins contribute to a healthy correct answers antibodies
Healthy adults should be in correct answers nitgrogen balance
postive nitrogen balance correct answers : more nitrogen is retained than is excreted
ex: pregenact women
Negative nitrogen balance: correct answers more nitrogen is excretedt han
consumed (body proteins broken down)
ex: stravation, seroius injury
Digestibility correct answers Ease of breaking down and absorbing proteins
Protein quality is determined by two factors: correct answers The protein's Digestibility
The protein's amino acid profile correct answers : the types and amounts of amino acids
(essential, nonessential, or both) that the protein contains.
Complete correct answers all essential amino acids, plus some nonessential amino acids
ex: soy, quinoa
Incomplete correct answers low in one or more essen>al amino acids
ex: plant foods
